She's my kind of rain

It was a beautiful sunny day, and he was laying down at the park, looking at the gray clouds that could easily end up the great day.

When a sudden shadow covered up his sight, he sat down and looked at her.Hair all messed up of running, she took a deep breath and sat right next to him.- What are you doing here?-Laying down and looking at the sky!- But what are you thinking of?And he looked at her, trying to hide a smile, trying not to do what he always did around her, and failing completely, he opened his mouth, and confessed, like a shy kid:- You.She opened the dark-chocolate eyes and stood up, running away from him, just to look back a few seconds later and ask him like it was obvious: - Don’t you know we’re gonna run?He jumped and followed her. As always.She was already helping a little boy with his kite. And as the kite flew, the sunshine through the coloring sheats, she lokked like the most beautiful rainbow he’s ever seen.Now she was staring at him, with a serious look on her face, and she said:- Show me your favorite place.And he smile, took her hand and walked her to the very center of the park, a big old tree, and put her hand into one of the lower twigs, were his inicials were.- I always thought I could write someone inicials right next to mine- Is this your dream?- Maybe. Lets just say... it’s my dreaming tree...- Lets swim!And he smiled again, while she ran towards the lake, never predictable, always a surprise. And the sight of the sunset at the lake made him tremble. But she was already there, sitting next to him at the dock, and the smell of her wet hair was more perfect than he could ever dream.But she was talking to him:- Why are you trembling?He looks at the sunset and tells her everything he’s ever said and did and regret... And she sits there besides him, and whispers: The sun is setting above all of this. It’s past. Now just let go.Then she holds his hand and pulls him up, and they look at the sky, as a drop falls on her nose.- It’s raining, l gotta go!And he watches her running, as the rain washes over all the tears he’s ever had.

It’s winter now, and she’s laying down at the snow, wondering how to get up without ruining her recent-made snow-angel. Then a hand appears in front of her, and she takes it and get up, looking down. The angel was save.- Perfect! - he says, but she smiles without realizing he’s no longer staring at the snow.They walk side by side, and she’s telling stories about snow, and Christmas and he’s listening with all the attention he’s got. And she lookes at him, as the snowflakes gently fall on his hair and shoulders. And she doesn’t know why his smiling at her.Night falls and the stars shine brighter than they ever did. She takes his hand, and points into the sky:- Don’t you sometimes feel like snowflakes are small confetti stars falling down on us?

Today he’s sitting at a bench, on his parents house right next to his father, while she swings back and forward under the garden’s tree. While his dad is giving him the ring that belongs to his mom, he ask why her... But the son knows exactly what to say.- Remember what you said about mom being your shining day? Well,
